The Phillies have signed 33-year old righty reliever Brian Sanches to a minor league deal. Sanches pitched in 39 games (2 starts) for the Marlins last year and he was 4-1 with a 3.94 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP. He has now pitched in 189 games (2 starts) in his first six years in the majors and he is 13-6 with a 3.58 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP. This was a good signing for the Phillies as Sanches is a very solid reliever.
